2003 Ssr Supercharged on 2040-cars

Venice, Florida, United States

Up for Sale is this one of a kind 2003 Chevrolet SSR in Redline Red with Ebony Leather interior.  It is offered by Bill Buck Chevrolet and I am Ben Lewis, the Pre-Owned Sales Manager.  It was traded in by the original owner on a new Chevrolet Equinox for his wife.  This truck has been his project from day one and the time, thought and money that has gone into this truck probably could not be duplicated for twice the price that we are offering it at!  I am going to do my best to describe what this truck is and am glad to answer your questions via email or phone.  I have several books of documentation including the original window sticker along with manuals and receipts for most of the upgrades including the Supercharger and transmission upgrades.

This SSR started life in Annapolis Maryland.  The previous owner ordered this truck fully loaded with the 1SB option package (heated seats, memory package, homelink transmitters, Bose sound system with CD), carpeted bed with wood trim accents, integrated running boards, bed saddle bags, towing package with trailer hitch, cargo net.  The total price was $46,490 in 2003 dollars and this customer paid well above that for the opportunity to have one of the first available in Red!  He never drove one at the time it was ordered.  When he picked up the truck, he was slightly unimpressed with 300 horsepower 5.3 liter V8 and immediately began drawing up the plans for what you are about to bid on!

Here is what I know has been done but I can tell you that there is probably a lot of little things that had to be completed to make the package work so well.  This truck runs and drives like Chevrolet built it this way!  Everything works including the air conditioning and all electronics.  There are no check engine or warning lights.  Our service department has inspected it and were impressed with the quality of the upgrades.  My best estimate from the receipts and my knowledge of the parts used puts the upgrades in excess of $10,000 without labor cost.  Here are the highlights:

Lowered Suspension (estimated about 1")
Magnuson Intercooled Supercharger (Roots Style)
Dynatech SuperMaxx Exhaust System w/Stainless Long Tube Headers
Comp Cams 525/532 Cam specifically for supercharged application
Phoenix Transmission of Texas / Transmission Upgrade to Original Unit

Upon completion of the upgrades, the truck was taken to a well known speed shop where it was tuned and dyno tested and recorded.  This truck puts 430 horsepower to the ground and 470 lb/torque at the rear wheels with an incredibly flat torque curve (440 lbs at the rear wheels from 2000 RPM  to Redline).  Needless to say, its a blast to drive and very streetable.  Just put the top down, turn on the Bose sound system and enjoy!

I am going to include three videos below.  I will let them speak for themselves.  Please note that I took the video and drove, so I apologize for its shaky quality as the SSR can be a handful!

 


Here are the rules for this auction and they are very simple:  This truck is for sale, and priced to sell!  We are not looking to appraise it so please bid only when you are ready to buy it.  If you need financing, please have it already lined up or call us to be pre-approved.  If you have questions or would like to inspect the vehicle, please email or call me.  I will do my best to accommodate all reasonable requests.  Transportation is the buyer's responsibility.  We are not a shipping company and do not give quotes for those services.  Sales Tax and License Fees are charged per Federal and State Law.  There will be a $399.00 Administration Fee added to the winning bid price to cover the cost of paperwork, lot prep, etc.  If you have questions.....Just Call or Email (we are glad to help). 941-493-5000 blewis@billbuckchevrolet.com.  The last and most important rule is this:  The truck is for sale locally and on our lot.  We reserve the right to end the auction early anytime UNTIL it meets reserve on this auction.  Once this auction is above our Reserve Price, we will only sell it to the high bidder.  NO exceptions.  Its the only fair way to handle this so everyone has a chance to buy.  So if you are serious, bid early and bid what you'll pay or you risk somebody walking on the lot and buying it before you get the chance!

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
